Am I overreacting?

So I told only my immediate family I was pregnant at 4 weeks. I told them I wanted it to be kept a secret until I can get the whole family together to tell them. But at 16weeks I was giving my cousin a ride to the store and the ultrasound picture fell out of my bag and she caught a glimpse. I knew she saw it but wasn't sure, so I dropped her back off at home and 10mins later her mom pulls up asking if I'm pregnant. I said yes but please don't tell anyone, I want to surprise everyone, then at 17weeks 2 of my aunts found out so my aunt says that pulled up last week. I was upset, me and my husband wanted to tell my family together at a BBQ. Am I overreacting, I am not showing yet so there's no way they would've known, unless my aunt told them..

You're not over reacting at all. It's amazing how common it is for this to happen though. What ever happened to minding your own business and letting the parents tell when they are ready? When my wife and I were still freshly pregnant, we told my immediate family right away, as they were our support system, but not my wife's family. They're not as supportive and have a higher tendency to blab when it's uncalled for. I would be pissed if someone told. Sorry they did that, it totally takes away from your announcement :(
